A Raising-Type Girlfriend?

Jiang Fei swiftly moved to stand in front of the chubby boy. He had to ensure that no one was seriously injured—or even killed—during the sparring matches.

Ning Tianchen had never intended to severely injure the chubby boy. He flourished the wooden sword in his hand before tucking it into his belt.

"B-Boss actually lost." The other children could not help widening their eyes, seemingly unwilling to believe the outcome.

The chubby boy was not someone who could not accept defeat. He ran up to Ning Tianchen with a beaming smile and introduced himself. "Big Brother, my name is Chen Huayu. They all call me Chen Fatty."

"Big Brother?" Ning Tianchen narrowed his eyes slightly.

Chen Fatty explained, "In the sect's Special Training Camp, whoever is the strongest is qualified to be the Big Brother. I'm no match for you, and they're no match for me, so you're the Big Brother."

Ning Tianchen had never considered such a thing. What use was there in being the big brother of a bunch of children?

Still, there was no need for him to refuse. In the future, he could have them handle some trivial matters for him.

After giving it some thought, he tacitly accepted.

At Chen Fatty's urging, the children all called out, "Big Brother!"

Jiang Fei would not concern himself with such trivial matters. Besides, Ning Tianchen was someone the sect was focused on nurturing. Using this method to develop his leadership abilities was not a bad idea.

Next, the other children also began sparring.

Ning Tianchen sat quietly to one side, watching the children exchange blows.

The first reason he had been able to defeat Chen Fatty was that his Soul Power Level was higher. The second was that he had a good mindset.

As for combat techniques, he held no advantage.

These children's parents were all Battle Spirit Masters. Having been influenced by them since childhood, they had learned quite a few moves.

In sparring matches between opponents of equal strength, the children's performances were exceptionally impressive.

"Big Brother, they only know a few cheap tricks." Chen Fatty laughed boisterously.

These children had awakened their martial spirits before Ning Tianchen did. Yesterday, they had already met one another and sparred in the sect's Martial Arts Arena.

Naturally, Chen Fatty said this because he had defeated the other children.

"By the way, Big Brother, is your martial spirit a sword-type martial spirit?" Chen Fatty asked impatiently.

Ning Tianchen nodded and held out his right hand. The Seven Kill Sword Spirit appeared in his palm.

"I-Isn't that the same martial spirit as Sword Offering's?" Chen Fatty cried out, his expression immediately turning strange.

What did children know about the complicated affairs of adults? He said, "Big Brother, don't tell me you're Sword Offering's illegitimate son?"

"Don't spread baseless rumors. There's no such thing!" Ning Tianchen warned.

I'd like to know why myself!

From the original owner's memories, he knew that Sword Douluo had never had any dealings with their parents.

Yet under such circumstances, he had awakened the Seven Kill Sword Spirit. In the end, it could only be a perk of being a transmigrator.

As for these children, they did not seem to enjoy gossip. Of course, it might also be that they simply did not know how to gossip.

After a pause, Chen Fatty asked again,

"Big Brother, I heard you have a good relationship with Young Miss Rongrong. How did you become friends with her?"

Ning Tianchen glanced at him and replied irritably, "You want to learn?"

Chen Fatty did not understand the meaning behind his words and said frankly, "My dad told me that if I can build a good relationship with Young Miss Rongrong, our family can receive more cultivation resources."

"My dad also said that with my Innate Soul Power, I'll have a chance to become a Soul Douluo in the future."

This chubby kid really can't keep anything to himself. Ning Tianchen laughed inwardly.

After chatting for quite a while, one of Chen Fatty's lackeys ran over.

"Boss, you're even stronger than Chen Fatty. Has your Innate Soul Power reached level eight?"

Most of these outer sect disciples possessed level-six Innate Soul Power. Someone like Chen Fatty, whose Innate Soul Power had reached level seven, was already an extremely rare sight.

"Qi Huan, damn it! You called me Big Brother yesterday, and today you dare call me by my nickname!" Chen Fatty cursed angrily.

Qi Huan shrank back, dodged his chokehold, and quickly retreated behind Ning Tianchen.

"Hehe, I have Innate Full Soul Power. I only need to obtain a soul ring to break through and become a one-ring Soul Master," Ning Tianchen said calmly.

"Boss, you actually have Innate Full Soul Power? Oh my god..." Qi Huan covered his mouth in shock.

Chen Fatty's reaction was not quite as exaggerated. During their earlier spar, he had already sensed that Ning Tianchen far surpassed him in both strength and speed. He had guessed that Ning Tianchen possessed level-nine Innate Soul Power, but he had never expected Innate Full Soul Power.

"My dad said that there have only been a little over twenty Soul Masters with Innate Full Soul Power on the continent in the past hundred years."

Ning Tianchen smiled faintly. "Your father truly is a wise and knowledgeable man."

Chen Fatty raised his head proudly.

In his eyes, his father was the greatest.

The day's training came to an end.

Ning Rongrong held Ning Tianchen's hand as they walked together through the streets of Heaven Dou City.

"Tianchen Gege, the candy from that shop is so delicious. Rongrong wants more." Ning Rongrong pointed excitedly at the candy store in the distance.

Ever since Ning Rongrong had begun frequenting this candy store, Ning Fengzhi had simply bought the entire establishment for her safety.

Nearly all of the shop's attendants were disciples of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect stationed outside the sect.

Ning Rongrong knew nothing of this. She only felt that the attendants there were especially enthusiastic and that the candy was delicious.

"Rongrong, you can't eat too much candy. Be careful of cavities," Ning Tianchen gently reminded her.

"Hmph, Tianchen Gege is just like Father. You're both bad people." Ning Rongrong planted her hands on her hips and huffed angrily.

Ning Tianchen patiently explained, "Rongrong, there are plenty of fun places and delicious foods in Heaven Dou City. How about we look around somewhere else first? Maybe we'll find something even tastier than candy."

Delight appeared in Ning Rongrong's eyes. She immediately grabbed Ning Tianchen's arm, her eyes curving into crescents. "Tianchen Gege is the best."

Ning Tianchen smiled helplessly.

What was this, a raising-type girlfriend?

As long as Ning Rongrong was having fun, she would never reject his suggestions.

Five mornings later, under Chen Xin's watchful gaze, Ning Tianchen demonstrated his insights and understanding of the basic sword forms.

Chen Xin pondered for a moment before nodding in satisfaction. "This is much better than I expected. As agreed, go pack up. I'll take you hunting soul beasts shortly."

"Do I need to ask the Special Training Camp instructor for leave?" Ning Tianchen asked.

Chen Xin shook his head.

When he took Ning Tianchen out of the sect, other disciples would inevitably see them and report it to Jiang Fei.

Besides, Ning Tianchen's teacher was Chen Xin. Jiang Fei had no authority to interfere with Ning Tianchen's cultivation.

Ning Tianchen returned to his residence and changed out of his training clothes, which were soaked with sweat. Then, he left behind a letter for someone to deliver to Rongrong.

He did not know how many days this soul beast hunt would take. He should explain things to Ning Rongrong so she would not throw a tantrum.

Next, Ning Tianchen began considering the types of soul beasts available.

Over the past few days, he had searched through many books on sword-type martial spirits in the sect's library. Different types of sword martial spirits required different soul rings.
